Graded EX 5 by PSA. Exceptionally attractive example of #250 Joe DiMaggio, one of the key cards from the 1938 Goudey "Heads-Up" series. DiMaggio is not just the most valuable card in the set, it also one of the most well known and popular of all Joe DiMaggio cards, and of all 1930s bubble-gum cards. The card is crisp and clean, both front and back, with perfect registration, ideal natural toning, and nearly perfect centering. The card presents at a level far superior to its technically accurate assigned grade, with light corner wear keeping it from a higher grade. This is a very strong example of one of the key cards from the 1938 Goudey set and one of the most popular cards of the era. Reserve $500. Estimate $1,000/$2,000.
